TABLE MANNERS. ,
In no other way In the home life
and training of jerson more readily
revealed to strangers than In his
conduct at the table. To know the
use of tbe numerous forka and spoons
at a ceremonious dinner requires ex-J
pi-rlenre In "high society," and an In
experienced person when placed at an
elaborately ri'iarcd table cannot do
ix'tier than watch the hostess and
follow her example. "When you are
tn Koine do as Koine does" in a good
no:to for the table, to a certain ex
tent. To eat like a millionaire and
expect a fresh fork for every kind of
food at tbe table of a duy laborer
show as poor breeding aa to eat In
picnic style at a wedding. Some table
maimers, however, are always appro
priate, and ahould be among the early
lessons given a child in order that
they may become"8econd nature" to
him. Sometime to watch the hostess
Is as embarassing to that lady as to
her guest.
It is always safe to eat with the
fork and not the knife. When a boy
U small It seems a matter of little
consequence whether be shovels his
food Into his mouth with knife or fork,
for shovel it be will. liut in a short
time when that boy enters the busi
ness world aa a young man it is a
matter of consequence whether he is
familiar with the accepted customs of
tbe country or not. He may have
just as good a head for business as
any other man, but the one who shows
good home training la likely to be pro
moted a little more quickly,
H Is appropriate at every table to
take no more than one's share from
the common dish, when the meal is
nerved In ordinary family style. To
fill one's plate with half the contents
of a favorite dibh gives the Impression
that the eater la selfish and thought
less of the wishes of others. To chew
the food well and quietly with the lips
closed Is never out of place. To begin
with the others and quit with the
others Is another safe rule. In teach
ing table manners example is more
powerful than precept. Not much is
gained by continually "dontlng" a
hungry child. When he is not very
hungry Is the time to train him in the
nlceitles of eating.
Table manners are beneficial phys
ically as well as socially. In this
land of overloaded tables it is a ques
tion if there are not more overfed
than underfed stomachs. Ixt the chil
dren have pleanty to cat, but they
should have some regard for the feel
ings of others while taking that plenty.-
It is not much trouble to say
"I'leaae" and "Thank you," but the
food tastes better to the majority of
peoplo If these little words are used
during the meal.
RECIPES
agar with two cups light brown
sugar.
Fried Onions
These are considered very nice for
a change at our house. We first boll
them ten or fifteen minutes, then
drain and try in pork drippings, or
butter until they are transparent and
begin to brown nicely, season to taste
with salt and pepper and serve very
hot. Fried turnips are also very nice,
sliced a little less than half an inch
thick, boiled until tender, and then
fried In drippings to a nice brown.
Potato Soup
A very appetizing soup may be
made without either the traditional
"pot of stock" to draw from or even a
soupbone. Uoil potatoes until tender
with enough sliced onion to Just fla
vor them. Mash and put them through
a sieve. Into a lump of butter size
of an eggs melted, stir a tablespoon
of flour and let It thoroughly cook in
bottom of kettle, but do not burn.
To this add tbe quantity of milk re
quired three pints to four good sized
potatoes and tbe above flour and but
ter, Is. about the right proportion
stir until hot and add the mashed
potatoes, with a seasoning of salt,
and pepper If liked, boll up and serve.
The flour and butter and milk should
be made ready before the potatoes
are quite done, so that they may be
added while hot.
Corn Meal Pancakes
These will be a change for the
bachelor boys from those they raise
with "sourlngs" or yeast Stir into
nice thick sour milk soda in iirooor-
tlon of a level teaspoon to a teacup
ful, and half as much salt, then add
flour and cornmeal, two cups of the
former to ne of the latter, to make a
batter Just thick enough to bake and
turn nicely on the griddle. Don't get
them too thick. Next to maple syrup
Is that made by melting one cup white
Welsh Rarebit
Melt up a half pound of mild cream
cheese with two tablespoons butter
until smooth like batter. Have a
pint of milk boiling hot Into which
has been stirred a teaspoon of flour
made smooth in a litle cold milk and
season wiih pepper and salt. Stir
the hot milk into the hot butter and
cheese mixture gradually stirring un
til it la smoth and thick, and serve
on slices of hot buttered toast or
crackers. A tiny bit of mustard may
be liked.
HAVE YOU TRIED?
Have you tried putting a few grains
of Hce tn the salt shaker to prevent
tbe salt from caking?
If a gasoline oven does sot bake
well on top, have you tried spreading
newspapers or several layers of cloth
on the top of the oven to retain the
heat?
Have you tried a hot water bag for
keeping the bread warm?
For a fresh grease spot on a waist
or skirt, have you tried rubbing on
flour? Rub on plenty, brush It off,
then rub on more and brush off, until
the spot disappears. The flour ab
sorbs the grease.
Have you tried a child's sprinkling
can for dampnlng the clothes before
Ironing?
, As it Is almost time for the spring
sewing, have you tried making some
of the summer working dresses with
rouch neck and short sleeves? They
are comfortable lit the warm weather
and save the washing.
Have you tried inverting a pan over
the flatlrons to make them beat more
rapidly? One bright woman uses an
old tea kettle with the bottom remov
ed. As it has a handle It Is more
